2025 Canada Games Indoor Coach Announcement

The OVA is happy to announce the selection of the 2025 Canada Games Indoor Head Coaches. Congratulations, Jen Neilson and Ian Eibbitt. Jen (girl’s program) and Ian (boy’s program) will lead the indoor programs for the next cycle which concludes with the 2025 Summer Canada Games in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Jen Neilson has coached at all levels of the Canadian high-performance pathway. Since 2018, Jen has been the Head Coach of the York University Women’s Volleyball program. Prior to this role, Jen began her journey with the OVA as the High-Performance Apprentice Coach while also coaching at the club level with the Halton Hurricanes during the 2017/18 season. She then moved on to become a Head Coach of Team Ontario Red in 2018 where she led the team to the Canada Cup competition. Jen then transitioned to the National team as a Guest Coach with the Youth National Team in 2019. Jen’s experience with coordinating the 2017 Canada Games program will be an asset to the team along with her drive and passion. Jen’s leadership will have a big impact on the Team Ontario 2025 Canada Games program. Welcome Jen!

Ian Eibbitt is no stranger to high performance volleyball in Canada. Ian has been involved with many stages of the Volleyball Canada pathway. Ian began his National Team journey in 2019 as the Assistant Coach for the U19 Youth National Team. He then moved onto the National Excellence Program in September 2020 and most recently was the Assistant Coach on the Junior National Team from 2020-2021 where he experienced a major competition at the U21 World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. In addition to his National Team experience, Ian has a long history with Team Ontario including being an Assistant Coach on the gold medal winning team at the 2017 Canada Games. Currently, Ian is the Full-Time Lead Assistant Coach for the McMaster Marauders Men’s Varsity volleyball program, and we look forward to having him join the 2025 Team Ontario Canada Games program!

The Canada Games are the largest multi-sport event in Canada. There are over 5000 athletes competing in over 20 sports. They are held every two years, alternating between summer and winter games. The last summer games were held this past summer in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The Team Ontario boys placed third and the girls placed fifth.

Team Ontario Elite March Break Recap

Three weeks ago, the Team Ontario Elite programs participated in a March Break camp for the first time in three years. These athletes were selected from a larger group of Team Ontario athletes that participated in the fall portion of the Elite program. For more info on Team Ontario Elite, you can visit our website here

The Boys program drove to Gatineau where they trained at Volleyball Canada’s Men’s National Team Centre. The Boys participated in a week of on court training with Men’s National Team Assistant Coach, Dan Lewis. Their week was finished by participating in scrimmages against some local competition including Algonquin College and the cegep de l’outaouais.

The Girls program ventured to Vancouver where they trained at Volleyball Canada Women’s National Team Centre in Richmond, BC. A week long training camp ensued filled with new skills, touring Vancouver and smiles. The week was completed by scrimmages against Team BC, Simon Fraser University and a Canada West Alumni program. A fantastic highlight video of the scrimmages was put together by Elite Coach Nathan Janzen and can be found on our Youtube page here: https://youtu.be/mSeI2pBf548

Volleyball Canada Jump Off

The OVA is excited to bring the Volleyball Canada Jump Off Physical Testing event to Ontario players in 2022 in conjunction with Ontario Championships. Alongside the competition, OVA will run a Jump Off at each event to give athletes a chance to test their physical abilities. Participating athletes will be tested for 5 important volleyball physical metrics: height, wingspan, 1-hand reach, block jump and spike touch. The statistics recorded will be entered in a Canadian database which will allow athletes to compare themselves to other athletes their age from across the country and to track their progress over the years to come. Athletes will also be able to use the results in their application to any Team Ontario 2022 programs. The Jump Off was designed to challenge and motivate youth athletes in their development by helping them recognize their potential as volleyball athletes.

 

Ontario Championships Jump Off Event Information Coming Soon!

2022 Team Ontario Coach Application Process

In 2022, Team Ontario beach and indoor will be back with a full offering of in-person programs for athletes at all stages of the OVA Athlete Development Pathway. Programming will be adjusted to bridge the development gap that was created as a result of the last two seasons’ missed opportunities. More athletes and coaches will have a chance to participate in meaningful training camps that will help them achieve their volleyball goals. The 2022 Team Ontario programs will be particularly exciting with the Ontario Summer Games taking place in July and the Canada Summer Games being hosted in Niagara in August.

OVA Female Leadership Program

The Ontario Volleyball Association (OVA) is looking to inspire and educate the next generation of female volleyball leaders through an upcoming leadership program aimed to promote gender equity and encourage female opportunities in the OVA.  

With the support of the Canadian Women and Sport WISE fund grant, this OVA project is giving the opportunity to 17-18U female athletes to lead activities with younger girls from their Club/Region to increase awareness about leadership skills and pathways in sport while helping them stay involved in the OVA community. By working with experienced female leaders, the athletes will be empowered and feel confident when they deliver their activities by the culmination of the program and instill the leadership lessons and experience for the younger players.  

Joining the program to help facilitate the activities are three female leaders from the Ontario post- secondary circuit:

Athlete responsibilities

17-18U athletes will be responsible to attend the four fall sessions (1 hour each). Each session will provide education on a different topic, provide instruction on how to teach the content to younger athletes and discuss takeaways from the topics they connect with.  Athletes will be assigned an OVA female coach mentor during this process. Athletes will meet with their coach mentor to discuss takeaways of each topic and to prepare for their presentation to their younger club athletes. In the new year, 17-18U athletes will lead at least one 45 min long provided presentation on the topic of leadership to the younger athletes of their own club.
